Public Transport Rage

Now, we've all experienced abuse from people on 4 or 6 wheels when we're on our bikes.
It's not uncommon.
Having a random stranger in the middle of the tube abusing you is less common.
Was walking towards the barriers to get into the system.
A slighty spivvy Essex type guy (you know,light grey suit which is just that bit too light, a little shiny, knees apart when walking) cut in in front of me as I was walking towards the barriers, when I was no more than about 3 metres away.
He went through the barrier, quickly followed by me. As I beeped and made my way through, he stopped infront of me so I was caught in the barrier - he'd caught the suit jacket he was carrying on the barrier.
He then turned to me, poked me in the chest and about half a foot from my face shouted "F*CK YOU!!!" and stormed off.
I tried to not look too smug when he missed the next train anyway.
Bizarre.

MAybe he was a mind reader and knew you were laughing at him inside. On the other hand it's more likely that he's just a waste of skin.0

Maybe he knew you from here?

A couple of years ago I was standing in the isle of a train coming home from work and the guy next to me kept pushing back into me with his rucksack, he had room next to him and was reading his paper with his arms outstretched. After a while he turned round to me and shouted "stop fucking pushing me" The pent up frustration and heat just got to me and I fucking lost it completely, the next few moments were a complete blur, I was physically shaking with rage and when I snapped out of it I realised I was chasing the guy down the platform at Kingston Station. I'm quite an easy going person so was deeply shocked by my own reaction. A few days later I decided to commute by bike and haven't used that train service since.Fat lads take longer to stop.0

Having met RC, I have to say you sound like the unluckiest man alive! Don't take it personally, he probably has a strong fear of fixie riders FCN3: Titanium Qoroz.0

if you're a small man RC then it sounds like's he just a bit of a bully. Doubt he'd have done that to JZed. Don't worry about it. He'll have an unhappy marriage and horrible kids.0

My last encounter with Public Transport was getting a train up north for work one sunday in April. I had a seat booked but these Rugby fan guys wouldn't let me through the doors of a train that was abotu to depart- so I politely asked them if I could get through as I was standing at the entrance (train was less than half full anyway but they decided to block the doors) and the one in reply shoved me so hard I literally went flying off the train and hit the wall (opposite) - I'm 9st and he looked about 20st. Damaged my shoulder and the way I landed tore my knee cartiladge so I had to pull out of the London Marathon - thankfully I was able to defer the place. The train landed up being delayed half way through the journey as the same guy landed up attacking another passenger later in the journey.
Conclusion - Mindless pointless rage for the sake of rage.0 -
